Service VME - Tubular Side Steps Exhibit Corrosion
2003-2005 Hummer H2

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

SERVICE VME
Customers vehicles equipped with tubular side steps (RPO BVE) may exhibit corrosion in the area where the mounting brackets are welded to the tube. This message is to inform you that a field service fix is currently under development. It is recommended that you avoid replacing any tubular side steps for this condition, as a more durable solution will soon be made available. As always, good judgment should be used when addressing any customer's concern. I will advise you with another message immediately upon availability of the field service fix.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.



GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
